Update of /cvsroot/netrek/client/netrekxp
In directory sc8-pr-cvs7.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv6983

Modified Files:
	NetrekXP to do list.C clientr.suo 
Log Message:
Best guess solution to deal with observers and observees orbitting a repair planet.
Reimplemented select() on login screen, but put it in combination with sleep().  This reduces CPU usage and keeps the desirable things about using select, such as constant updated player list.
Minor fix to observer draw logic in local.c
Fix to volume setting check so it doesn't get called every time a sound is played (using old sound).
Removed some completed/fixed bugs from Stas's todo list.
